. I I. v I i 1,020,926, Specification of Letters Patent.

, To aZZ 'whom it may concern Be it known that I, DANIEL OKEEFE, a

citizen-of the United States, and resident of St. Louis, Missouri, have invented a certain new and useful Process of Making a Composition of Matter for the Treatment of Leather, Fabrics, and the Like, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a process of making a composition of matter for the treatment of leather, fabrics, and the like, and consists of the. following ingredients, mixed in substantially the proportions, as stated:

Petroleum oil 37% Fish oil 30% Bay oil 2% Cedar oil 3% Mirbane oil 6% Mustard oil 3% Venice turpentine 18% Azalea oil 1% In preparin my composition I take the,

' ing the other ingredients I take a funnel or any kind of receptacle and fill it with washed, clean and dried coke, and after I have prepared this bed, as it were, of coke, I then take the mirbane oil, cedar oil and bay oil, and mix the same together in a small vessel andthen pour this mixture of these three ingredients over the bed of coke in the funnel or receptacle, and immediately 'after I have poured this mixture of these three ingredients onto the bed of coke, I then take the fish oil and Venice turpentine mixture and pour it over the top of the coke in the vessel or receptacle, and after I have done this I then take the petroleum oil, the mustard oil and the azalea oil and mix them, and pour this mixture over the contents of the funnel or receptacle. After passing the hereinbefore described mixtures bed 0 Application filed larch 13, 1911. Serial No. 814,008.

through it again, and after that through a clean charcoal, which acts as a filter.

:By the herein described process I am enabled to producevmy com osition of matter without the agenc of artificial heat or agitation, and I pro uce a composition which does not stratify and the color of which does not change, and the composition thus produced has no sediment.

In a companion application, filed by me March 13, 1911, Serial Nol 614,009, I have :through the bed of coke and gathering it in va receptacle, I then pass the entire mixture claimed the composition of matter which is i made by this process, and such composition of matter is not claimed herein.

It will be observed that the ingredients of my composition are animal, vegetable and mineral oils, of different specific gravities, and by the process herein described, I have been able to produce a composition of these oils wherein there is no Stratification, and the composition has all the appearances of chemical afiinity or union of the constituent elements which compose the composition.

I claim 1. The herein describedprocess of preparing a composition of matter for the treatment of leathers, fabrics, and the like, which consists, first, in taking fish oil and Venice turpentine and mixing the same together so as to reduce the consistency of the Venice tur entine to practically that of the fish oil an allowing said mixture to stand for a limited time ,second: taking the cedar, bay and mirbane oils and mixing the same to ether in a separate vessel and passing said mixture through a body of coke; third: taking the mixture of fish oil and Venice turpentine and passing it through the body of coke through which the mixture of cedar, bay and mirbane oils has been passed; fourth: passing through said body of coke a mixture of petroleum, mustard and azalea oils; thus combining the ei ht mentioned ingredients of the compositlon and fifth:

gether in a separate vessel and passing said mixture through a body of cokethird: taking the mixture of fish oil and Venice turpentine and passing it through the body of coke through which the mixture of cedar,

. bay and mirbane oils has been passed; and

fourth: passing through said body of coke a mixture of etroleum, mustard and azalea oils, thus com ining the various ingredients of the composition.

3. The herein described process of preparing a composition of matter forthe treatment of leathers, hides, pelts, fabrics and the like, which consists first in taking fish oil and Venice turpentine and mixing. the same together so as to reduce the consistency of the Venice turpentine to practically that of the fish oil and allowing said mixture to stand for a limited time; second: takin the cedar, mirbane' and petroleum oils an mixing them together inv a separate vesseloils has been previously passed, thus combining the petroleum 011, fish oil, cedar oil, mirbane oil and Venice turpentine; fourth: passin the total mass of the composition back t rough the body of coke again; and lastely: passing said mixture through a body of charcoal. In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification, in presence'of two subscribing witnesses.
